Safety Messages

It is important to follow all instructions shipped with this product. This device is to be

installed by trained personnel who are thoroughly familiar with the country’s electric

codes and will follow these guidelines as well as local codes and ordinances, including

any state or local noise-control ordinances. Listed below are important safety instructions

and precautions you should follow.

Important Notice

Federal Signal reserves the right to make changes to devices and speciﬁcations detailed

in the manual at any time to improve reliability, function, or design. The information in

this manual has been carefully checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no

responsibility is assumed for any inaccuracies.

Publications

Federal Signal recommends the following publications from the Federal Emergency

Management Agency for assistance with planning an outdoor warning system:

• The “Outdoor Warning Guide” (CPG 1-17)

• “Civil Preparedness, Principles of Warning” (CPG 1-14)

• FEMA-REP-1, Appendix 3 (Nuclear Plant Guideline)

• FEMA-REP-10 (Nuclear Plant Guideline).

Planning

• If suitable warning equipment is not selected, the installation site for the siren is

not selected properly, or the siren is not installed properly, it may not produce the

intended optimum audible warning. Follow Federal Emergency Management Agency

(FEMA) recommendations.

• If sirens are not activated promptly when an emergency condition exists, they cannot

provide the intended audible warning. It is imperative that knowledgeable people,

who are provided with the necessary information, be available at all times to authorize

the activation of the sirens.

• When sirens are used out of doors, people indoors may not be able to hear the

warning signals. Separate warning devices or procedures may be needed to warn

people indoors eectively.

• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To

prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings, and

restrict access to areas near sirens. Review and comply with any local or state noise

control ordinances and OSHA noise exposure standards, regulations, and guidelines.

• Activating the sirens may not result in people taking the desired actions if those to be

warned are not properly trained about the meaning of warning sounds. Users should

follow FEMA recommendations and instruct those to be warned of corrective actions

to be taken.

Safety Messages

Satellite Communication (Model Q-UV-ISAT2)

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• After installation, service, or maintenance, test the siren system to conﬁrm that it

operates properly. Test the system regularly to conﬁrm that it will be operational in an

emergency.

• If future service and operating personnel do not have these instructions to refer

to and are not properly trained, the system may not provide the intended audible

warning, and service personnel may be exposed to hazards that could result in death,

permanent hearing loss, or other bodily injuries. File these instructions in a safe

place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to recruits and

trainees.

Installation and Service

• Electrocution or severe personal injury can occur when performing various installation

and service functions such as making electrical connections, drilling holes, or lifting

equipment. Therefore, only experienced and qualiﬁed electricians should install

this product in compliance with national, state, and any other applicable codes,

ordinances, and regulations. Perform all work under the direction of the installation or

service crew safety foreman.

• The sound output of sirens is capable of causing permanent hearing damage. To

prevent excessive exposure, carefully plan siren placement, post warnings, and

restrict access to areas near the sirens. Sirens may be operated from remote control

points. Whenever possible, disconnect all siren power, including batteries, before

working near the siren. Review and comply with any local or state noise control

ordinances and OSHA noise exposure regulations and guidelines.

• After installation or service, test the siren system to conﬁrm that it is operating

properly. Test the system regularly to conﬁrm that it will be operational in an

emergency.

• If future service personnel do not have these instructions to refer to and are not

properly trained, the system may not provide the intended audible warning, and

service personnel may be exposed to hazards that could result in death, permanent

hearing loss, or other bodily injuries. File these instructions in a safe place and refer

to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to recruits and trainees. Give a

copy to anyone who is going to service or repair the sirens.

Operation

Failure to understand the capabilities and limitations of your siren system could result

in permanent hearing loss, other serious injuries, or death to persons too close to

the sirens when you activate them or to those you need to warn. Carefully read and

thoroughly understand all safety notices in this manual and all operations-related items in

all instruction manuals shipped with the equipment. Thoroughly discuss all contingency

plans with those responsible for warning people in your community, company, or

jurisdiction. A well-written contingency plan document is recommended.

General Description

Introduction

This manual describes how to conﬁgure the Satellite Terminal (ST 6100) to interface with

the UV+ or FC Controller card and then program Commander® software for satellite mode.

The programming for the Satellite Terminal requires using the USB Flasher software and

Commander® software.

Overview

A satellite terminal is ideal for activating and monitoring sirens when distance and/or

geographical barriers are present. The satellite terminal is oered using the IsatData Pro

network based on its proven reliability and coverage. Satellite services can be added

independently or together to form a robust network architecture.

Using Inmarsat’s network of geosynchronous satellites, the IsatData Pro network provides

the ability to monitor and control remote Federal Signal sirens. The remote satellite

terminal is a rugged external, small form factor design that requires outdoor mounting.

The network availability is 99.995%, and the 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC)

provides continuous and reliable service, which is required with these types of mission-

critical services.

Troubleshooting

Check the following:

• Sometimes the connection fails on the ﬁrst try, so try again. If it still fails, check all

connections, and ensure that the cable type is the six-conductors non-crossover

modular data cable (1751134).

• Is the board powered?

• Is the com port set correctly in the Device Manager window on your PC?

• Is bad weather preventing the connection?

10. Verify communication with the terminal by “AT” followed by “OK” when

communication is established. Terminal successfully communicated with the program.

11. Verify that the Satellite status shows active, followed by signal strength. The signal

strength should be a minimum of 42 dB for reliable operation. If the level is below

42dB, review the ST 6100 Installation Guide and pay extra attention to the instruction

for pointing the satellite, including the picture showing the 45° rotation. Also,

determine if an obstacle is blocking the satellite reception path.

12. Close the ORBCOMM® Developer Toolkit application.

13. Remove the modular data cable (1751134) to the satellite/cellular interface board at

JP3. Reinstall the original cable between the controller card RS232 serial port and

JP3 on the satellite/cellular interface board. See “Figure 5 Wiring Connections from

Satellite Terminal to the interface board to UV+ controller card” on page 13.

4. Determining if using Security Code or Encryption Key

6. Programming the UV+ Controller card for Satellite Mode

If this ﬁrmware ﬂash section has already been properly completed, go to “7. Conﬁguring

Commander Software for Satellite Mode” on page 25. Typically, this ﬁrmware ﬂash

section has already been completed at Federal Signal. If you are not sure this was

completed, skip this section and come back later if it does not work.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT run Commander® software and USB Flasher software

simultaneously on the same PC, as they will compete for the same com port, which will

cause a collision.

19. On your PC, run the USB Flasher software; select from the Start button on the

taskbar: Start > Federal Signal Corporation > USB Flasher.

20. Select the Com that is being used by selecting Setup > Com Port.

NOTE: If you are not sure which com port is being used on your PC, open Device

Manager and conﬁrm the com port. To watch to com port appear, unplug and plug the

USB cable.
